Seattle Chamber Debates Government Building Site
At a chamber of commerce meeting the site for a government building was discussed. President Graves blamed Mr Garretton for delays and a committee was tasked to present merits to the department. The San Francisco Timber Preserving Co seeks a 6 acre coastal plant location, preferring Seattle. The San Diego chamber asks Seattle to aid Nicaragua canal promotion. A Yokohama journal requests data on Seattle exports and imports. The state and national affairs committee says drydock labor complaints were resolved, Puget Sound mechanics not discriminated against. A note on establishing a branch of the Washington Soldiers' Home, to be pursued with officials, mentions the home is state-controlled but army-supported.
